This decline comes as the stock has faced a consecutive fall over the past three days, resulting in a total drop of 2.62%. Despite this downturn, Ashnisha Industries managed to outperform its sector by 6.86% today, although the broader Steel/Sponge Iron/Pig Iron industry has seen a decline of 7.85%.
The company's performance over the past year has been notably poor, with a staggering 56.98% decrease, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's decline of only 2.33%. Ashnisha Industries is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend.

Additionally, the stock has reported negative returns on capital employed (ROCE) and a flat earnings per share (EPS) of Rs. 0.00 for the latest quarter. Overall, Ashnisha Industries is facing challenges that have led to its current market position.
